The original authors of Autodesk Maya shortened to Maya were Alias systems corporation. The software was dveeloped by Autodesk Inc and released in February 1998. Maya is a 3d computer graphics software which runs on Windows, OS X and Linux. It is used to create interactive 3d applications including video games, animation films, TV series and visual effects.
LightWave
Lightwave 3d is a 3d computer graphics software developed by Newtek. It is used for rendering 3d images both animated and static. It includes a fast rendering engine. It was released in November 2014 and is licensed by Trailware. Lightwave has been used in: Tv, films, adverts, music videos, motion graphics and architect visualisations. Its operating systems are Windows and OS X.
Cinema 4D
Cinema 4D is a 3D modelling animation and rendering application. It was developed by MAXON Computer GmbH in Germany. It was released in September 2014 and its operating systems are OS X and Windows. Cinema 4D is licensed by Proprietary. Its main uses are polygonal modelling, animating, texturing, lighting and rendering like most 3D model applications.
Blender
Blender is a free 3d computer graphics software. Blender is used for creating 3d printed models, animated films and visual effects. It's features include: UV unwrapping, 3d modelling, texturing, animating and much more. Aside from just having modelling features, Blender also has an integrated game engine.
SketchUp
SketchUp is a 3d modelling computer program. It is used for a broad variety of drawing applications including: architectural, interior design, film and video game design. It is available both free and to buy with different versions (SketchUp Make and SketchUp Pro). SketchUp is owned by Trimble Navigation. They were formerly an independent company however they have been owned by Google since 2006.
ZBrush
Zbrush is a digital sculpting tool which combines 3d modelling and 2.5d modelling. It also includes texturing and painting. Zbrush is usually used for creating high resolution models and uses technology which stores colour, lighting, material and depth information for the objects on the screen. This particular program is able to reach up to 40+ million polygons. It is mainly used in movies, games and animations.
